Phoenix Season Drawing to an End Already?
Is the Wellington Phoenix season drawing to an end already?
That could well be the only conclusion we can draw after six consecutive draws.
Has Ricky reached a stalemate in terms of options?
Certainly it’s easy to draw comparisons with the other New Zealand A-league franchises and put the spin on the fact that the Nix are the least undefeated of the 10 A-league teams.
But that’s not the point. Even tho the Nix have picked up six in their last six games, wins are what they need.
Let me draw your attention to one key performance indicator – goals:
- Shane Smeltz (ex-Phoenix striker) – 8 games, 10 goals
- Phoenix – all players, ten games, in 2009-2010 season – 9 goals
Draw your own conclusions.
Later today, the Nix play Smeltz – what odds on one goal each?
